MARRIAGE MISERY I
MARRIAGE MISERY I Divorce in County Courts SOLICITOR AND SEPARATION A number of county-court registrars gave evidence on Wednesday before th r:7,r17, Com/mission on Divorce, Lord Gorell, chair- man, presiding. I The first of these was Mr. C. H. Pickstone, coanity-conrt registrar at Bury. He had held tha.t position for twelve years, he said, and "had devoted considerable attention to the Question of divorce. In advocating the exten- sion of divorce jurisdiction to the oounty- court. Ins object was not to increase the faoilities for divorce, but to brinjj within the reach of the poorer classes a remedy which the wealthier classes were enabled to obtain in the Divorce Court in London. The hearing of divorce suits locally would most materially reduce the cost to the applicants and, at the same time, expedite procedure. For instance, a forma pauperis case from Lan- cashire cost about 127 out-of-pocket expenses and E10 solicitor's charges. The same case heard in the local county-court he estimated could be done for Xlo if there were no court fees Lord Corel): Do von think there would be much ?oltusio? if jurisdiction were extended t' county-courts?—I do not think there would be practically any among tha indus- trious. hard-working communities of Lan- cashire and Yorkshire. It is amongst the leisured classes that collusion is more likely to be found. His experience with regard to separation orders was that the great majority of cruelty cases occurred when the husband was in drink. He wa.s in favour of magis- trates being empowered to make separation i orders for a limited time as well as per- manent orders. Lord Gorell: Do you think the regist-ars should act for the King's Proct.or ?-Hè cer- tainly has facilities for the work which no one else has. The witness said he would limit the jurisdiction cf the county-courts, empowering them to deal only with cases where the income of the parties did not exceed .t.3 per week. a.ud would leave power to remit oases to the High Court- BREACH OF PltOMISE ACTIONS. "I wonid like to see the Act abolished under which breach of promise of marriage actions are brought," continued the witness. "Numerous miserable marriages take place under the compulsion of a threatened breach of promi.-e action. It has a direct bearing on this question of divorce, for it leads to com- pulsory marriages, with consequent misery on both sides. Permanent separation orders almost necessarily lead to immorality." The witness, at the conclusion of his ex animation-in-chief, said he did not agree with the theory of the accidental casual sinner at all (Sir John Big-ham's view). and he would make the law api>ly to the man as it did to the woman. What was a moral and legal wrong on the part cf a woman was a moral and should be a legal wrong on the part of the man. The Archbishop of York: Have you ever heard of any formulated public demand on the part of Lancashire working-class men for th) extension of facilities for divorce ?—No, not any concerted public action, but I can say that this Commission has been hailed with great s&tif-eaction by the industrial classes Of Lancashire, because they recognise that it may have some practical outcome. He did not see how the appointment of divorce judges to go on circuit would meet the oass. They could not get tnrough the cases sitifi- teiently quickly, nor would they have the knowledge of local conditions which the county-court judges had. OOUNTY-COUBT JUBISDICTION. Mr. F. W. Dendy, registrar of the county- court of Nc^vcastle-on-Tyne for the eleven yearg, also favoured the extension of divorce jurisdiction to the county-courts, or, at any rate, to selected county-courts. In Northumberland, for instance, one court at Newcastle, the only large town in the corunty, would meet the case. Lord Gorell: Would that not present diffi- culties as regards travelling?-It is a ques- tion of 30 miles as against 300 to London. The cost of bringing parties end witnesses to Newcastle would be less than the cost of soli- citors and officials travelling to the small towns. The Workmen's Compensation Act, said the witness, had increased the work of the judges in the coTinty-courVs by 30 per cent. If the work of divorce was thrown on the courts in addition, the bulk cf the work would fail on the registrar and the clerical staff. It was possible that the judicial and general staffs would have to be increased if the courte had to undertake divorce work. Mr. J. A. Spender: On how many county- oourt-s would you confer divorce jurisdiction? —Roughly speaking, on one or two in a oounty. With regard to the poeition of the King's Proctor, he suggested that divorce oases being iheajxl in the county-courts should be watched by a representative of the chief-constable of the district. If the latter thought there wae anything irregular he could report to the King's Proctor, an4 subsequent action cooild be taken in the High Court in London. He further suggested that appeals should also be heard in the matrimonial division of the High Ooiirt. A COMPARISON OF COSTS. Mr. H. Cough, solicitor, Enfield, county- court registrar at Edmonton and justices'- clerk, said he thought it desirable that civil separation business should be transferred to the county-courts, which were e^Trerned only with civil cases. This would tend to unifor- mity of dealing with such cases. As things were at present, different etandards were set up by different justices, even in one division. The witness handed in a taxed bill of costs in a divorce suit which was heard in the High Court—a simple defended ca.se, he said, with seven witnesses and no tra-velling expenses. The total expenses were £86 7s. 10d. The same bill taxed on the existing inter- mediate scale of County-court costs amounted to C48 6e. 3d. If the procedure were simplified the costs would, of course, be still further reduced. Lord Gorell: What would be the maximum costs in a separation action in the police- conrt in a contested case?—There is no taxing and I cannot say. The whole thing, I think, could be done for 12s. The court fees a,re very small. The witness agreed with a suggestion of lord Gorell that when there was consider- able wrangling in court in a separation case the magistrates thought sometimes it was bett-er that the couple should be separated without weighing the evidence all a whole. The Commission then adjourned.

I TOURISTS IN PERIL NEW YORK, Wednesday. A wireless message for help hae, just been received from the liner Tagus, bound from Colon to New York, reporting that she has been in collision with the schooner Republio off Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. The Tagus has 150 passengers on board.— Central News. Later reports sta-t-e that there is no immediate danger. The Mauretania has gone to the Tagus to see if she needs further help. The liner Tagus referred to is presumably the Royal Mail Steam P'ac?et Company's v?-aet ct tbat name. On inquiry at the Ixm- don oSloes of the line, a pr(>$ representative was informed that she was due at New York from Colon on Wednesday. She is not a cruising- boat, but is the regular mail steamer. The bu,lk of her passengiers, how- ever, would probably be tourists from the West Indies. LOSS OF CAPTAIN'S LIFE.

The Talbot Inn and Mount Pleasant Inn, Gilfach Goch, were referred for compensa- tion. Evidence was taken in respect of GJFu- coch Inn, situate between Gilfach Goch and Blackmail. Considerable aJnueement was caused in court during the cross-examination of Police-sergeant George by Mr. F. H. Gaskell, who appeared for the renewal of the licence, to which the police objected. "ThM place keeps me going ell day Sun- day," remarked the offi??? amid laughter. The proportion of Sunday drinking he fixed at 80 per cent., and when asked how he arrived at this conclusion, remarked: "I I have been told that the trade done is one barrel a week, and when I have been there on the Sunday I have seen 30 pints served in twenty minutes, and at that rate they would soon drink the barrel that day. (Laughter.) The Stipendiary announced that the bench had decided to reduce the licence from seven to six days. The licences of the Griffin Hotel, Hendre- forgan; the Claetla Hotel, Pontypridd; the Crown Inn (a beerhouse), Trallwn, and the Red Cow, Crossvane, were referred to the oom- pensa.tion authority, making in all six cases referred for compensation.

DALAI LAMA'S FLIGHTI
DALAI LAMA'S FLIGHT Replying in the House of Commons on Wed- nesday to Mr. J. D. Itees (R., Montgomery Boroughs), who asked for information con- cerning the flight of the Dalai Lama, Mr. MONTAGU (Under-Secretary for India) read the following telegram, which was received from the Viceroy on Tuesday night:- It appears that the Tibetans sent a con- siderable toroe to face the Chinese troope near Oiuaando in order to intimidate them, but with orders not to tight. They accoird- iiiigiy retreated as tha Chinese troops advanced, and, meanwhile, the Amtmn at Lliaca promised the Lalai Lama that only i.OOd Chinese troops should be brought to Lhasa. i-'Ort.y Chinese mounted infantry arrived suddenly in Lhasa and fired on several Tibetaiiis, including two high officials, as these latter were leaving Potala peaceably, wound- ing one in the leg and hitting the pony of the other, the Dalai Lama also ascer- tained that the Chinese had broken their promise to bring only 1,000 soldiers to Lhasa. He accordingly decided to fly to India, though against the wish of the Council of the National Assembly. "There appeal's to have been no fighting except at Chaksam, where several Chinese were killed. The number of killed is variously estimated at from 40 to 80. The Dalai llama's clothes, presents for the Viceroy, &o., are believed to have been cap- tured by the Chinese. At Phari lots were cast as to whether the Dalai Lama should proceed via Bhutan, or Khambajoug, or Guatong, and the lot fell on the last route. "The Dalai Lama complained that the Emperor of China promised him in Peking that he (uhe Dalai Laina) would have the same power as before in governing Tibet, but the Chinese in Tibet have broken their promise. The a.bove information is from a reliable Tibetan Bouroo.. "The Dalai Lama arrives at Darjeeling to- day." His Majesty's Government, added Mr. Mon- tagu, have communicated vith the Chinese Government with regard to the unexpected situation thus created, and in reply have received assurances upon the details of which it would be premature to make a statement. CALCUTTA, Wednesday. At a meeting of several hundred Buddhists held at Dariec,ldng to-day it was resolved to petition the Emperor of China to recall the Chinese resident in fhassa, to withdraw Chinese troops, to restore the ruined monas- teries and property, and to reinstate the Dalai fama.-R-ter.

Prosecutor said he met the female on the Hayes, and went to the house in Gray-street wit/h her. There witness gave the male prisoner sjane money for beer and whisky and retired with the woman. He soon felt her hand in his pocket, but did not th-en suspect any- thing Later, however, he discovered that his money had disappeared from that pocket, but the empty purse was found in his outside coat pocket. When Thomas Fair returned, witness said. "I've been done down." Fair then brandished a poker, and said, off from here!" At the t-ame time he called another man, and the two put prosecutor outside. This was about one a.m., and prose- cutor later on in the morning returned to the hon-se for his money. He found the woman drunk, and she said, "Toiiinjyls got all the money William Lees, manager for Mr. Cohen, pawnbroker, Cowbridge-road, said the male prisoner came. to him and ajsked him to keep a. half-sovereign for him. He gave the coin to witlings. Miss ftpma Radford, barmaid at the Canton Hotel, said the male prisoner changed a sovereign there. Detective Harvey said that when he arrested prisoners the female said, "Tommy Farr had it," and Tommy Farr said, "£2 10s. be I haveh't got a ha'penny." Inspector Bingham said the female went und-er the name of Haslem and Powell. She had been- convicted for offences at Merthyr, and had been in TJsk Prison.

STAIN OF DISHONOUR. MAN SHOOTS HIS BROTHER IN AN OFFICE. At the Mansion House, London, on Wed- day Alfred Cecil, alias Sha.lom Elaya-r (23), cap-cutter, was remanded for a week charged with feloniously shooting with intent to kill and murder his brother, Nissim Shalom Elayar, in the offices of Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. A detective-sergeant said after his arrest the prisoner gave his name as Alfred Cecil, but subsequently made a statement in the name of Elayar. In this the prisoner des- cribed his brother's wife as a disgrace to his family. and suggested his brother should divorce her. Owing to the brother's state- ment that he would not do this, the prisoner said he obtained a revolver, and went to see his brother to shoot him In this way he believed he would wipe the stain of dis- honour from the family.

Various presents had been made to the children, but the prisoner on oath gave an entire denial to the charges. He took the children to a room to try on boots, a-nd he could not conceive why they had told such a story. Evidence as to accused's good cha-raeter was given by the Mayor of Nottingham.

i MR. NfKENNA AND VISIT OF…
MR. NfKENNA AND VISIT OF PRINCES' I Mr. M'KENNA (First Lord of the Admir- alty), questioned by Captain Faber (U., Hampshire, W.) in the House of Commons 011 Wednesday with reference to the circum- stances surrounding the visit to his Majesty's ship Dreadno ugin by certain reputed Abyssinian Princes and their staff, said no flags were hoisted or salutes fired, and no special train was ordered by the ad-miral to enable the visitors to return to London. Captain FABER asked if it was a fact that certain white kid gloves had had to be bought for the naval officers on the occasion of the visit, and, if so, who paid for them. Mr. M'KENNA said the hon. gentleman seemed to be better informed than he was. If he would give notice of the question he (Mr. M'Kenna) would make inquiries. LABOUR EXCHANGES AND ALIENS. Captain FABER (U., Hampshire, W.) asked the President cf the Board of Trade whether in the labour bureaux preference would be given to British workmen who wanted employment over alien workmen. Mr. BUXTON said that it would be impracticable for labour exchanges to make detailed inquiries as to the nationality of every applicant for work. It was open to employers to exercise a preference for British labour. I Mr. BYLES (R., Salford, If.) asked whether in the 4,000 German labour exchanges pre- ference was given to German over British labour. Xo answer was given. Mr. KEIR HARDIE (Lab., Merthyr Tydfil): May I ask whether labour exchanges give jobs at all? (Ironical Opposition cheers and laughter,) Mr. BUXTON said the labour exchanges were intended to notify vacancies, but not necessarily themselves to supply work. Captain FABER: Is it not the Britisher who is paying the taxes to keep these exchanges going? (Opposition cheers.) I PREMIER DECLINES TO BE I DRAWN. I Captain ORAIG (XT,, Down, E.) asked the Prime Minister whether it was the intention of the Government to propose that the ques- tion of altering the constitution and powers of the House of Lords should be submitted to the electors Uy any method other than that of a«general election. Mr. ASQUITH: The hon. and gallant member's question is of a hypothetical character. At any rate, it is one on which it would be premature at present to express an opinion. WEEKLY REST-DAY FOR POLICE. Mr. REMNANT (U., Holborn), introducing a Bill securing to all members of the con- stabulary forces in the country one day's rest, off duty in every seven, &aid he was glad that the Home Secretary had inaugurated his term of office by granting I the boon to the Metropolitan police. The Bill was read a first time. I ENCOURAGEMENT OF HORSE- BREEDING. Answering Mr. J. D. Rees (B., Montgomery Boroughs), Sir E. STRACKEY said the Board of Agriculture hoped to be able to obtain a. grant for the enocwragement of horse-breed- ing ont of the Development Fund established by the Act of last session. I WARSHIP CONSTRUCTION IN I GERMANY. Mr. M'KENN. (First Lord of the Admiralty) I informed Mr. Lough (R., Islington, W.) that there were thirteen ships of the Dreadnought i or Invincible type at present completed or I under construction in Germany, and four more were to be laid down during the next financial year. He had before him no reliable estimate of the date when the latter vessels were likely to be completed. I ALLOTMENT OF SMALL HOLDINGS. Sir E. STRAOHEY informed Sir Mndc>lf I Rak?r (U., Dorset, N.) that 4,470 bona-fide agri- outwml boUlI'ers, or n<?riy 34 per c&nt. of the total number of applicants, were suppiied with small holdings in 1908, and 893 small holders, or Z5 per cent., in 1909. There were no means of knowing ho,w many were actually provided with land unless the county councils were a,ked to prepare a speciaJ return, and the board were reluctant to take that step at present, when the small holdings officers were so fully occupied.
! "A LOST OPPORTUNITY."I
"A LOST OPPORTUNITY." I I CRITICISM OF ATTITUDE OF THE I OPPOSITION. Commenting upon the Opposition's attitude in the recent political crisis, the Morniiig Post" says: "There is reason to fear that the Opposi- tion have been completely outwitted by tb- Government, to tlte serioute detriment of Tariff Reform and all that depends thereon. It appeairs quite clear from Mr. Austen I Chamberlain's speeches on Monday and Tues- day night that he had not anticipated the pos- sibility of the indefinite postponement of the Budget. It would be charitable to assume that Mr. Balfour was equally innocent when he 'toased across the ta.)-,Ie, the note which is supposed to have acquainted the Prime Minister with the intention of tha Opposition to stay their hand. But no charity can hade or excuse the disastrous incompetence of the generalship which has misled the first-Pnd possibly the last—chance to divide the House upon the one vita matter in which there is a majority for the Unionist policy. The Unionist leaders, responding to a plea of national urgency, h-ave spontaneously granted the whole time of the House in order that the financial situa- tion may be dealt with by methods which they t,hemselvee rightly denounce as extra- vagant, mischievoTis, and unnecessary. Both the Liberal and Unionist parties have suffered discredit in the present crisis through the failure of the leaders to give effect to the party pledges. But, while in the Liberal rank and file- there has been a suM. cient show of individual independence to pro- dnce a change of tactics, on the Unionist side the catastrophe has been allowed to go through without articulate protest from a single member. There is no remedy except in the application of the principles advocated by a correspondent, that electors should seek representatives who will undertake to put loyalty to the cause before loyalty to leaders. If that were the recognised basis of party discipline the result would be, not to make party government imposedble, but to render it sincere. INCOME-TAX COLLECTION. The Parliamentary correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" writes:—There is no likeli- hood that the Government will accede to the suggestions of Mr. H. W. Forster and .Lord Hrugh Cecil to submit to the House of Com- mons a resolution authorising the collection of Income-tax. It is pointed out that such a resolution would have no greater foroo than that pac-sed last session, and would not legalise the tax. I THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. Mr. J. G. Butcher has given notice to ask the Prime Minister whether it is still his intention to pass the Budget through the Commons before the adjournment for the spring1 reoese, and whether it is still his intention that the resolutions dealing with the veto of the Lords shall be embodied in a Bill and carried through the Commons in the course otf the present session. Mr. Croft has addressed a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking whether he will state the permanent lose to the Trea- sury which eaoh week's delay in paesing the Budget into taw caueee.

In every Nationalist constituency we are threat-ened on all sides with opposition. On the one side, the Unionists, thinking our funds are depleted, are loudly threatening opposition in the hope that we may be bankrupted, and, ou I the other hand, a small band of eo-called .Nationalists, who have rebelled aguiust the authority of the party, anti who apparently have ample funds at their disposal, are I threatening1 opposition 'to our members.

Notes and Selections. I
Notes and Selections. I ESHER, Thursday Morning. The Spring Hteeplechaae at Kempton yes- terday excited u-nusual interest. Judas was seen out for the first time since he ran seoond to Lutteur HI. in last year's Graud National. Judas could not have possibly looked better, and, with the exception of taking his last two fenoes sideways, his jumping was perfect. The distance, hoa,ever, i was not far enough, and Cannock Lad had the speed of him on the flat. Anthony very sensibly refrained from knockine^his mount about too much. The display was calculated to enhance his Aintree prospects in the eyes of those capable of judging. By-the-bye, the winner, Oannock Lad. did not accept for the National. The chief item at Sandown Park to-day is the Liverpool Trial Steeplechase. Both Moonstruck and Springbok have been sent to oppose Jerry 11., but neither will be at all likely to concede the weight. My vote goes to JERRY M., who will no doubt be an odds-on chance. Other selections follow :— Ember Steeplechase.—SUGAR BABY. Lammas Hurdle.—LORD CORK (nap). Aissele Hurdl-e.-AUREOLA.

An explosion followed, in which six men, includ- ing himself, were burnt, two severely. I Mr. Thomas, for defendant, admitted the offen<-c, but said the defendant acted in ignorajice owing to the fact that the gas was so slightly inflammable. Defendant was I fined 40s.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL." I
FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL." I The Kemp-ton Park Meeting wooind up on Wednesday literally in a blaze of grlory, the sun. being in strong evidence throughout. There was another big attendance, the pros- pect of seeing several Grand National horsee under colours proving a strong incentive u) travel down to Sunbury. The principal event was the Spring Handicap Steeplechase, and no fewer than five livel-po-ol horses were saddled. Judas, who had been in retirement since he ran second iu the National last year, gave the beet dispiiay. lie jumped grandly, and only uperior pace enabled Oannock Lad to beat him. Leinster II. jumped well, but he is very slow nowadays. Round Dance unexpectedly beat Hdy War in the Two Miles evidently refuted the criticisms of those people who had been prophesying his defeat as boon as he met a hur¡,.e of any class. Doubtless, the Sandown Park executive are. devoutly hoping they will be i-avoured with the same glorious weather as has to iar pre- vailed throughout the week. Ihe in lasts over „the remainder of the week, Fri- day and Saturday, as usual, being devoted to the Grand Military lietinion. The ch:ei item on t.he card to-day is the Liverpool inal Steeplechase. Mr. As^heton Smith originally intended to run all three of his -N-at,ionai horses, e but fi-ially decided to let Jerry M. alone represent him.
